The heme monooxygenase cytochrome P450cam can be engineered to oxidize ethane to ethanol.
(Graph Presented) A NADH turnover rate of 741 min-1 in the oxidition of ethane to ethanol is observed with an engineered form of the heme monooxygenase cytochrome P450cam - the first example of such activity for a P450 enzyme (CC analysis shown). Ethanol is formed at 78 min-1 (10.5 % coupling). The...
